TESTIMONIALS
What clinicians say about our in-person courses
I wholeheartedly recommend Brooke’s course to fellow SLPs and medical professionals.
Her comprehensive education on RMT equips practitioners to immediately apply their learning in clinical settings.
The value of the course far exceeds its cost, including any associated travel expenses. I cannot emphasize enough how beneficial this course has been for my practice.
One of my most rewarding experiences post-course involved a young adult with a spinal cord injury. Despite doubts from some medical professionals regarding his ability to ever wean from the ventilator, I used the knowledge from Brooke’s course to advocate for a weaning plan. Through dedicated efforts, we successfully weaned him from the ventilator and ultimately achieved decannulation. This transformative outcome has empowered the patient to return home with his family and start his new life.

Speech pathologist
Brooke's course is a fantastic overview of RMT. She incorporates real patient scenarios and encourages attendees to critically think through decision-making.
Brooke's course can benefit beginner and advanced RMST providers. She arms you with articles and tangible resources that obviously took her hundreds of hours to develop.
I highly recommend Brooke's RMST class for any clinician treating dysphagia. I look forward to taking Brooke's other courses!
-C.W.
Speech pathologist
I am so glad that I took this course.
Brooke does a wonderful job of explaining the utility of RMT in many different clinical contexts (including acute care) and organized the course well, citing the research and providing some very practical information on how to modify practice patterns to suit a certain clinical scenario.
I now feel more confident with making a decision between devices as well as understanding the role of IMT better within my patient populations.
I highly recommend this course.
